First we put some paint in cups. Then we added a tablespoon of water to thin the paint out. The first time we tried to just use the paint but it was too thick.

Now we were ready to paint! Dip the balloon stick in the paint mixed with water. Then blow the paint onto the paper.

The boys enjoyed this process art activity!
